It was another display of total dominance for the UH men’s basketball squad Monday night as the Cougars dismantled Oral Roberts in a 83-45 win in the first leg of the Cougar Classic.
It was a sloppy start to the game as UH committed four fouls in the first five minutes, but jumped out to a 13-6 lead nonetheless with the help of two baskets each from junior forward J’Wan Roberts and junior guard Tramon Mark.
The Cougars’ suffocating defense allowed them to extend the lead to 29-8 midway through the first half, ultimately holding Oral Roberts without a field goal for nearly nine minutes.
